All Alan Crocetti Jewellery are made in 925 sterling silver. This kind of jewellery is known for its beauty and durability. With proper care, it can last a lifetime. Here is a comprehensive guide to help you take care of your precious silver jewellery:

1. Store it properly: Proper storage is essential to prevent scratches and tarnishing. Keep your silver jewellery in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or a jewellery box with compartments to avoid any scratches or tangles.
2. Avoid exposure to chemicals: Chemicals like perfumes, lotions, hairspray, and household cleaning agents can corrode and tarnish silver jewellery. Always remove your jewellery before using any chemical products. It is also advisable to put your jewellery on last, once you have finished applying makeup and perfume.
3. Keep it dry: Water and moisture can lead to tarnishing. Remove your silver jewellery before swimming, bathing, or engaging in any water-related activities. After wearing your jewellery, always make sure to wipe it dry with a soft cloth to remove any moisture.
4. Polish regularly: Over time, silver jewellery may develop a tarnished appearance. To restore its shine, gently polish your jewellery with a silver polishing cloth or a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid using tissues or paper towels as they can scratch the surface. For intricate designs, use a soft-bristle brush to clean hard-to-reach areas.
5. Avoid excessive scratching: Silver is a soft metal, and excessive scratching can damage or deform your jewellery. When not wearing your silver jewellery, store it separately from other pieces to prevent any accidental scratching.
6. Remove during physical activities: Though silver is durable, it is still susceptible to damage during physical activities. Remove your jewellery before engaging in any strenuous activities such as exercising or playing sports to avoid any accidental impact or scratches.
7. Professional cleaning: If your silver jewellery requires a deep clean, it is best to take it to a professional jeweller. They have the right equipment and expertise to clean and restore your jewellery without causing any damage.
8. Check for loose stones: If your silver jewellery contains gemstones, regularly inspect them to ensure they are secure. Gently shake the jewellery close to your ear to check for any loose stones. If you find any, take it to a jeweller to have them reset before further damage occurs.
9. Be cautious with silver-plated jewellery: If you own silver-plated jewellery, note that the plating can wear off over time. Be extra careful while cleaning and handling to avoid removing the plating. It is advisable to use a mild soap and water solution for cleaning instead of commercial jewelry cleaners.

By following these care guidelines, you can keep your 925 sterling silver jewellery sparkling and beautiful for years to come. Remember, a little effort goes a long way in maintaining the brilliance and luster of your cherished silver jewellery.
